Giving Back!
In August 2018 our friend and QA Paint Inspector, Wilf Grapentin passed away. APCA decided to start a scholarship in his name. Since the provincial government has suspended the Painting & Decorating program in Alberta, we decided to do something else. So yesterday we donated $10,000 in Wilf's name to The Calgary Dream Centre, specifically their woodwork shop.
Helping people move forward when experiencing challenges in life is what the Dream Centre does and APCA and its members are happy to help. We will be helping them whenever we can.
